OVERVIEW

Experience the joy associated with taking a sauna, a Finnish ritual that archaeological evidence shows to date as far back as 7,000 B.C. The sauna tradition is so characteristic of Finland that UNESCO recognized it on its Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list, describing the sauna as a sacred place, a church of nature. As you will discover, relaxing in a sauna is more about cleansing the mind than the body. Saunas are also popular places for socializing in the Finnish culture. Health benefits may include relieving stress, reducing hypertension and improving respiration. Plus, spending time in a sauna just feels good. You will discover more about Finnish life while pausing at Senate Square, an expansive plaza dominated by four neoclassical buildings that lend insight into Helsinki’s past. An enlightening drive through the capital city will present more architectural treasures, some of them boldly designed such as the Löyly public sauna.
